Lamers to retire after 43 years

Lifelong Stoughton resident
leaves family legacy
Bill Livick
Six weeks after Marty Lamers became

Stoughtons first full-time paid fire chief
in July 2005, one of the worst fires in
city history destroyed one of its largest
churches Christ Lutheran Church.
The next day, an area just north of
town was hit by a devastating F3 tornado that killed one person, destroyed 69
homes, 40 farm buildings and one business structure, while damaging dozens of
other buildings.
Combined, the disasters might have
been enough to cause a new fire chief
to reconsider his career choice but not
Lamers.
Youre never prepared for things like
that, he said in an interview with the
Courier Hub. But weve got a lot of
support and resources available in Dane
County, and we get a lot of citizen support. The outpouring from the Stoughton
community is tremendous.
By the time of the fire and tornado,
Lamers already had 33 years experience

as a volunteer firefighter. Hed been
serving as the fire departments volunteer chief since January 2003 and had
become accustomed to leading the organization.
Now, with more than 43 years as a
firefighter, Lamers plans to retire Feb. 1.
Fighting fires, raising a family

Lamers is a lifelong Stoughton resident who graduated from high school
in 1970. While still a student at SHS, he
Stoughton voters will get a couple chances

to cast a ballot this spring with a primary election looming for aldermanic District 2.
Council president Mike Engelberger faces
challenges from two opponents Ross Urven
and Michael Gilbert.
Gilbert and Urven have different motivations for running, with Gilbert running as a
direct challenge to Engelberger.
"I think I can do a better job than he's
doing," Gilbert said.
Urven, who had previously served on the
council in District 4 before moving to District
2, said hed like to have a younger voice on
the council. He said he's not running against
Engelberger so much as hoping to represent a
younger demographic.
Both candidates told the Hub that they favor
the Kettle Park West development, a view that
is in opposition to Engelberger.
It seems like a good idea overall, Urven
said about KPW. It's not really my place to
say who can and can't come in and open a
business in Stoughton, so while I'm not a huge
Wal-Mart fan, I wouldn't oppose their supercenter in KPW."
Gilbert said he supports KPW and that, Its
the right time for me to run.
For as long as I can remember I've always
wanted to run for office and serve the city,
Gilbert said. This gives me an opportunity to
do both. I've been tied to Stoughton my entire
life and raised a family here.
In addition to the district 2 race, incumbents
Sid Boersma (D-1), Eric Hohol (D-4) and Pat
O'Connor (D-4) will seek their seats again.
Regina Hirsch will run in District 3, but had
not returned a request for comment from the
Hub as of press time Tuesday.
A primary election will be held Feb. 17,
with the general election set for April 7.

Stoughton Area School District
District, utility still working on water issue at middle school

Consultant to seek source of lead contamination
Scott De Laruelle
For more than three months,

the drinking fountains have
been turned off at River Bluff
Middle School due to lead contamination. With officials from
the Stoughton Area School District and Stoughton Utilities still
unable to agree on the source of
the contamination, they will now

turn to a consultant to find some
answers.
The two sides recently agreed
to ask an independent third party
a firm recommended by both
the citys consultant and the
(DNR) to identify the source
of lead, said district community
information and resource coordinator Derek Spellman.
We expect to receive a proposed contract soon, he said,

noting that Stoughton Utilities
agreed to split the cost. Once
an agreement is in place, we
will have a better timetable for
a long-term resolution of this
issue.
In the meantime, district officials are getting estimates for
installing new filters to remove
any metals from the water to turn
the drinking fountains back on.
If tests show those filters

ensure the water is below the
action level, it is our goal to have
the water turned back on as soon
as practical in 2015, he said.
The best solution, however,
would be to address the underlying cause of any lead issue so
we do not have to filter indefinitely.
District director of business
services Erica Pickett said that
through November, the district
had spent $6,871 on water coolers and cups for students and
staff, including reusable water
bottles to reduce waste. At a
school board meeting last month,
she said the situation was getting old.
Theres cups of water and
people lugging jugs around. Its
not ideal, Pickett said. I think
the kids are getting tired of it.

Water: Utilities director questions districts interpretation of test results

Continued from page 1
Spellman said after several months, the water
change seems to have
become part of the routine
for the 660-some students
at the school.
There might have been
a novelty effect when we
first started providing
the water, but now it has
become more commonplace, he said.
Searching for
answers
The water tests at the
school were prompted by
a letter sent to the district
Sept. 9 by Stoughton Utilities, stating that water tests
around the city showed
some levels of lead above
the public health standard
of 15 parts per billion. In
response, the district had
voluntary follow-up testing done at all facilities,
and River Bluff came back
slightly above the lead
action level of 16 parts
per billion, with two of
four tested areas coming
back positive for elevated
levels, including the water

line coming into the building.
At last months school
board meeting, Pickett
said that after six rounds
of testing, district officials brought the data to
the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources
to resolve the concern,
and they conducted tests
of water coming into the
building.
The DNR sent the district a letter Dec. 10 stating
that all but one area tested
exceeded the lead action
level, prompting them to
conclude that some other mechanism is causing particles of lead to be
released into the system.
The DNR indicated
that dissolved lead was
symptomatic of an internal
problem typically (indicating) an issue with water
coming into the facility,
she said.
Pickett said that after
flushing the schools water
system, a seventh round
of testing showed the only
area with elevated levels With elevated lead levels still found in the drinking water at River Bluff Middle School, the district has provided bottled drinking water.

Stoughton fire and police department respond to a Tuesday morning fire on Silverado Drive. A van
containing LP gas tanks burned but was extinguished before the fire grew.
Fire destroys van on Silverado Drive

Stoughton firefighters
were able to contain what
could have been a much
larger fire on Silverado
Drive Tuesday morning.
Stoughton Fire Department deputy chief Scott
Wegner said crews put out
a vehicle fire before five
liquefied petroleum gas
tanks could ignite.
Wegner said crews spent
about an hour on scene
after a failed battery or
battery charger ignited the
van on fire.
The LP gas tanks were
used as part of the vehicle
owners occupation. Two
were in the garage and
three were inside the van.
Wegner said the department always takes precautions with fire calls
because its hard to know
what sort of hazards might
exist.
We dont know what
everyone has in their
garages, but we assume the
worst, Wegner said.

An additional truck from
McFarland was paged
after Stoughton responded
because a nearby garage
was damaged by the fire.
The vinyl siding melted,
but no structural damage
was reported to the building.
The van was a total loss,
Wegner said.

Residents and property

owners in the Town of
Dunn are concerned about a
proposal to build a new cell
phone tower at the intersection of Lake View Drive
and Halverson Road, a few
miles north of Stoughton.
Town officials are also
concerned and troubled by
legislation that was included in the states last biennial budget, without debate,
that limits the authority of
local municipalities to control the siting of such towers.
Our power to have any
role in the siting of it has
really diminished since the
change in the legislation
with the last budget bill,
said Erica Schmitz, the
towns land use manager.
Very little control is available any more.
She said the legislation
went into effect July 1,
2013.
The tower is being proposed by SBA Communications on behalf of Verizon
Inc. and would be built to
an initial height of 85 feet,
but extendable to 160 feet,
according to an application
that was submitted to the
Town of Dunn in early September.
Dunn officials rejected
the application because it
was incomplete, Schmitz
said.
We determined it was
incomplete because they
had not applied to Dane
County Zoning for a Conditional Use Permit, she
said. We let them know
that their application was
incomplete, and Dane
County also sent them a letter letting them know.
SBA has not since filed
a completed application,
so essentially nothing is
happening at this point,
Schmitz said.
The proposed location
of the tower was very
close to residential homes,

Some Dunn property

owners have urged officials
to deny the application if
and when it comes back and
challenge the law in court.
Town chairman Ed Minihan said consideration of a
potential challenge is premature, but hes not happy
about this type of legislation. He also believes there
are better places to put it
on that property.
Until we have a formal
request or a siting plan, its
hard to say, Minihan said.
He criticized the Walker
Administration and Republicans in the State Legislature for being hypocritical in passing the law.
The same party that has
been heralding local control is the party thats taking local control away from
municipalities the same
people, he said. Its pretty
hypocritical.
Im talking about the
Republicans in general and
specifically, he added,
and their great hewn cry
for local control. And then
they have succeeded in this
present administration to
remove as much control as
possible from municipalities: towns, villages, cities
and counties.
At the time SBA submitted its application for the
tower on Halverson Road, it
also filed to build a second
tower at 2660 State Hwy.
51. That idea has had less
opposition, officials said.
The nearest existing
tower to the proposed
site on Halverson Road is
around two miles away, to
the north at 2375 Dyreson
Road, Schmitz said. That
is likely not sufficiently
close to work for SBA/Verizon.
Cell towers emit nonionizing radio frequencies,
which the World Health
Organization has just classified as a potential carcinogen.

but not to the home of the

person who applied, said
Town of Dunn business
manager Cathy Hasslinger.
She and Schmitz said
town officials have encouraged SBA to find another
site for the tower, even if
its on land owned by the
same property owner.
Schmitz said she
informed SBA that we
received a lot of complaints.
I spoke to the consultant
and let him know there is
quite a bit of neighborhood
opposition, and we recommended finding a site that
would have less impact,
even if its on the same
property.
This is quite a big property and if they continue to
work with this landowner,
thats fine, she told the
Courier Hub. But perhaps
they could find a spot on the
same property that would
have less of an impact on
the neighborhood.
If SBA comes back with
a completed application,
town officials would notify
neighbors within a two-mile
radius of the proposed site
and they would invited to
hearings of the Plan Commission and Town Board.
Schmitz said anyone can
attend meetings of the Dane
County Zoning and Land
Use Committee and the
County Board of Supervisors, at which they would
consider the tower application.
She said according to the
new state law, the town and
county must process cell
tower applications within
90 days of receiving them
or the application is automatically approved.
Schmitz said the town

Kettle Park West negativity is tiring

I am really tired about hearing
the negative things about KPW.
I feel it will help everyone. It
will bring shoppers to the area.
Downtown doesnt sell anything that Wal-Mart does.
My money is spent in Madison
and Sun Prairie because the prices are cheaper for groceries, etc.
Very sad.
I would rather spend the money in Stoughton, but I cant. Old
people need it. Move forward or

project?
Is there more to this than we
know, or are some of our city

councilmen afraid of the outcome

Retired pastor Fred Rickleff recently made and donated six Biblical woodcarvings for Skaalens chapel.
Retired pastor donates Biblical woodcarvings to Skaalen

Retired Methodist pastor Reverend Fred Rickleff recently donated six
Biblical woodcarvings to
Skaalen Retirement Services for its chapel.
Rickleff designed and
carved the large relief art
panels, which reflects various scenes in The Life
and Ministry of Jesus. His
donated works combine his

love of carving with his
life-long calling to the ministry.
Rickleff and his wife,
Doris, moved to Stoughton more than 20 years
ago and have lived in Vennevoll, the Skaalen Ridge
Apartments, and now in
Skaalens assisted living
Heritage Center.
Early in his retirement 27
years ago, Rickleff took a
class in woodcarving from
German master carver Greg
Keilhoffer while on vacation in Frankenmuth, Mich.
Since then, he has studied
with Norwegian carvers at
the Vesterheim Heritage
Center in Decorah, Iowa,
and with Ada Klute at the

Stoughton Area Senior
Center.
Rickleff also carves trolls,
figurines, wild animals,
bowls, plates and Norwegian Acanthus projects. His
most famous work is a fullsized carving of The Last
Supper, which is proudly
displayed in his apartment.

The Futility of Wealth

I recently came across a very telling
anecdote about the futility of wealth, nicely
retold by the author Dan Solis in his book
Discipleship. The story is told of two
Klondike miners who ignore warnings to
leave their cabin before winter sets in, or to
at least restock their food supplies, but in
their lust for wealth the miners continue to
heap up piles of gold, until a blizzard sets
in and traps them in their little cabin. They
are found frozen to death the next Spring,
amid piles of gold, a potent reminder that
we cant eat gold, or heat our house with
it either. We chase after money as if it will
provide us with security, forgetting that ultimately no amount of money will stave off
death. It may provide a modicum of safety
and security while we are here, allowing us
to buy a home and to eat well and provide
for our families, but that is about as far as it
goes. It wont ultimately buy us happiness,
or a place in heaven, or the love that all of
us so desperately want and need. So keep
your finances in perspective. Money is a
means to an end, a tool to buy the necessities (and sometimes the luxuries) of life and
not an end in itself.
Christopher Simon
Wisdom is a shelter as money is a shelter,
but the advantage of knowledge is this: that
wisdom preserves the life of its possessor.

Stoughton knocks off
Oregon 70-42 with help
from all 17 players
Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor
When Stoughton High School

senior Tre McClain drilled a
3-pointer with under a minute
left in Tuesdays 70-42 win over
Badger South rival Oregon, it
was the perfect ending for the
host Vikings.
Monday seniors Ty Krueger,
Brady Wanninger, Buck Krueger,
John McCune, Jakob Benson,
Giles France, junior Drew Bellefeuille and McClain took the role
of Oregon at practice.
And that scout team won every
drill in practice against the team
that took the floor Tuesday.
Those seven were outstanding last night in practice, head
coach Matt Hockett said. They
beat us up. The team you saw win
in every drill session last night,
our scout team won. They got an

outstanding Oregon look from
those seven players.
As much as it was about the
stuff the guys did on the floor, it
was about those guys preparing
us in practice to get this done. I
couldnt be prouder of those seven.
And those intangibles that
dont show up on a stat sheet
have been a big reason for the
eight-ranked Vikings success
this season.
Senior Nick McGlynn, who led
Stoughton with 17 points, said

that it is a blessing to be a part of
a team like this.
To have all 17 guys, not just
the guys that see the floor nightin and night-out, but the guys
that we play against in practice
and put on the red jerseys those
guys really give us a good look,
McGlynn said. They really push
us hard in practice, and we really
feel prepared afterward.

Vikings step up against the nations best at the Cheesehead invite

Anthony Iozzo
The Stoughton High School

wrestling team looked to continue
its hot start Friday and Saturday
in the two-day Cheesehead Invitational at Kaukauna High School.
However, the Vikings had their
work cut out for them. The invite
featured not only some of the best
wrestlers in Wisconsin but also
included teams from Minnesota,
Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, Arizona,
Nevada and Oklahoma.
Stoughton finished the meet seventh overall (350 points) behind
Southeast Polk, Iowa, (614 1/2),
St. Edwards, Ohio, (522 1/2), Mesa
Mountain View High School, Ari.,
(518), Montini Catholic, Ill., (429
1/2), Kasson-Mantorville, Minn.,
(367) and Kaukauna (356 1/2).
Out of those schools, all but one
are ranked nationally in the top 50

in the IntermatWrestle.com Fab 50
rankings Southeast Polk (seventh), Montini Catholic (ninth), St.
Edwards (20th), Mesa Mountain
View (38th) and Kaukauna (39th).
Kaukauna is also ranked first in
Division 1 in the WiWrestling.com
poll. Stoughton is currently ranked
second.
It is a measuring stick for us
and to be able to place six guys in
the top 8 was a pretty good statement for us, co-head coach Dan
Spilde said. And to be in a footrace to the end with the team that
is ranked ahead of us at No. 1
(Kaukauna) was also a good measuring stick for us to show where
we are at this point in the season.
Individually, the Vikings were
led by senior Zach Hasselberger
(126 pounds) and sophomore
Brandon Klein (106) with fourth
places.
Junior Collin Kraus (138),
sophomore Kaleb Louis (120) and
freshman Tyler Dow (145) took
fifth, sixth and eighth, respectively. Senior Gunnar Helland (170)
also finished eighth.
Klein finished 4-3 with wins

Ill.) 6-3 decision Joe Egan (Mt.

match. He also fell to Real Woods

Pawelski (Montini Catholic) 7-3
in the semifinals and dropped a
15-3 major decision to LJ Bentley
(St. Edwards) in the third-place
match.
Kraus was 5-3 in what Spilde
said was one of the toughest brackets at the tournament. He defeated
Cody Struebing (Sheboygan Falls)
by pin in 30 seconds, Matthew
Pazienza (St. Ritas of Cascia, Ill.)
in a 12-0 major decision, Isaac
Lodise (Pewaukee) in an 8-4 decision and Cody Walrath (Freedom)
in a 3-0 decision.
Kraus also won his fifth place
match by forfeit due to an injury

to James Berg (New Prague), who
defeated Kraus 8-1 earlier in the
tournament.
Kraus other losses came to
Alex Butler (Boylan Catholic, Ill.)
in a 10-8 decision and Robert Lee
(Kaukauna) in a 7-2 decision. Lee
is ranked 16th nationally and first
in Wisconsin ahead of Kraus.
Kraus took a couple losses
but also had the deepest bracket,
Spilde said. The people who run
the tournament basically said that
it was maybe the second toughest
weight class they had ever seen
there.
Louis was 3-4 with wins over
Yahya Thomas (Mt. Carmel) by
fall in 5:36 Will Lewan (Montini

Boys BB: Vikings win two
Girls basketball
over break
only 16 jerseys, so a few
players have to rotate jerseys in order to get playing
time.
Tuesday it was
McClains turn to play.
And when he hit that late
3-pointer, it shook the
Stoughton gym as the team
and crowd celebrated the
win.
That is what high
school sports is all about,
Hockett said. A kid that
was all in for the team
and not himself to have a
moment like that in front
of his home team in a
rivalry game is really special.
The Vikings led by six
at halftime and came out
firing in the second half.
McClains 3-pointer was
one of six total in the final
two quarters.
Stoughton went on a
12-0 run to open the third
and its lead never dipped
below 16 again.
In the second half, you
have to give them credit.
They were knocking down
shots. Bottom line, Oregon head coach Jon Nedelcoff said. I dont care if
you were on them or not,
they were still hitting 21or 22-footers.
Nick McGlynn, senior
Brad Graffin, senior Brady
Brusegar, junior Tommy
McGlynn and sophomore
Troy Slaby all nailed shots
from beyond the arc.
The Vikings shot 10-for18 from 3-point range for
the game.
I have been a guy that
coach has determined can
help us outside, and playing with my brother (Nick)
has really helped me,
Tommy McGlynn said.
Coach said we just had to
go out there and play our
game, and we did.
Stoughton and Oregon
battled for a bit in the first
half, as Oregon jumped
out to an 8-4 lead with a
couple of baskets by senior
Markus Tobias who finished with 10 points and
junior Charlie Soule who
collected nine.
But the Vikings built an
11-point lead in the second quarter with a 7-0 run,
including a 3-pointer by
Nick McGlynn.
Oregon cut the lead to
six by halftime after a
3-pointer by senior Mitch
Morhoff who finished
with 13 points and a basket at the buzzer by Duff.

We cant let them
end on a 5-0 run, Hockett said. But in the third
quarter, we matched up.
We rotated better. We
played with out hands up
... We executed at a high
level and were able to salt
away the victory.
Nick McGlynn led
Stoughton with 17 points,
while Slaby added 14.
Tommy McGlynn chipped
in 11.
Stoughton travels to Fort
Atkinson at 7:30 p.m. Friday before hosting Monona Grove at 7:30 p.m.
Thursday, Jan. 15.
The team looks to try
to keep the season rolling
with plenty of time to prepare for each opponent.
There may be teams
that are stronger than us
one through five. There
maybe teams that are
stronger than us one
through eight, but there is
nobody stronger than us,
I think, one through 17,
Hockett said. The guys
are really buying into that
concept and philosophy of
family.
Stoughton 71,
West De Pere 48
The Vikings jumped out
early on Dec. 29 against
West De Pere in the Shawano Sundrop Shootout
at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bays Kress
Center but still needed the
fourth quarter to put away
the Phantoms 71-48.
Stoughton led West De
Pere by nine after the first
quarter, but the Phantoms
cut the deficit to just two
at halftime and later tied
the game in the third.
The Vikings, however,
halted the comeback with
a 20-9 advantage in the
fourth.
Nick McGlynn led
Stoughton with 27 points,
while Graffin added 14.

Senior goaltender Matt

Murphy did everything he
could to keep Stoughton
in Friday evenings game
against the 10th-ranked Kettle Moraine/Mukwonago/
Oconomowoc co-op.
Murphy was spectacular in
stretches turning away 39 of
42 shots on goal, including
30 saves through the first two
periods.
It was not enough, however, as the Vikings (4-7-1 overall) struggled to beat KMMO

Mclean en route to a 3-1 loss
inside the Mandt Community
Center.
Mclean, who benefitted
from sophomores Tyler and
Scott Johnson first period
goals scored a minute-and-ahalf apart, stopped all but one
of the 21 shots he faced.
Junior forward James
Browning was the only
Viking player to solve
Mclean, scoring 9:11 into

Offensive struggles
continue to plague Icebergs
Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
Stoughton senior forward Casey Marsh drew the MSO

Icebergs girls hockey co-op even in the second period Saturday, but the hosts were never able to take the lead.
Continuing to struggle generating offensive chances, the
Icebergs fell 2-1 against Appleton United inside McFarland
Ice Arena.
Appleton senior forward Natalie West scored a pair of
unassisted goals
Savannah Kopf and Sara Wollin were credited with
assists in the loss, while Oregon senior Kenzie Torpy

Karissa Kruszewski said
her team walked away
with many accomplishments and made huge
strides, even from the
College Invite meet just

three days prior.
Schleppenbach
(2:00.95) and Fryer
(2:00.99) each posted a
season-best time to go 1-2
in the 200 free.
Fryer then added a second-place finish in the

500 freestyle dropping 12
seconds to finish in 5:29.
Schleppenbach added
a second place in the 100
backstroke, going a season
best 59.16.
Overall, the team
walked away with 15 season best times.
The Vikings host
DeForest at 6 p.m. Thursday.
The Icebergs were scheduled to face a monumental challenge Monday evening in Stoughton, hosting a WIAA state
tournament fixture in the form of the D.C. Everest co-op.
However, snow in northern Wisconsin near Wausau
forced the game to be postponed.
Originally, theMosinee co-op, the team was renamed
the D.C. Everest co-op in 2012. The program has seven
appearances since the WIAA began sponsoring a tournament program in girls hockey in 2001-02, including championships in 2008 and 2012.
The Central Wisconsin co-op is ranked seventh in the
state this season (5-4-1).
Of the Icebergs final 11 games, seven are conference
showdowns, including Thursdays game at Edwards Ice
Arena in Beloit against the Rock County Fury (4-8-1, 2-11). The puck drops at 7 p.m.
Wrestling: Stoughton wins Mid-States with 10 wrestlers in the top six

5-2 decision.
He lost to Jacob Silzer (St.
Ritas of Cascia) in a 10-0
major decision, Trent Leon
(Kaukauna) in an 11-6 decision and Silzer again in a 6-0
decision.
Mason also avenged an
earlier loss to Louis in the
fifth-place match with a 4-2
decision.
Dow also was 3-4. He
defeated Houston Olson in
a 17-3 major decision, Josh
Verbeten (Wrightstown)
in a 5-3 decision and Jared
Balzley (Hartford) in a 10-0
major decision.
Dow lost to Aaron Meyer
(Southeast Polk) in a 10-2
major decision, Chris Yauch
(Two Rivers) by pinfall in
1:32, Adrian Ojeda (Green
Valley) in a 7-1 decision and
Jack Conway (St. Edwards)
in a 3-1 decision in the seventh-place match.
Helland finished 3-4 as
well. He had wins over Fernard Harris (Boylan Academy) by pinfall in 1:39
Robert Razo (Green Valley,
Nev.) 7-1 decision and
Jake Timm (Wisconsin Rapids) 4-0 decision.
Helland lost to Beau
Breske (Hartford Union)
by pinfall in 2:29, Kieffer
Taylor (Mountain View)
in a 6-1 decision and Zach
Shukoski (Kaukauna) in the
seventh-place match by a
6-4 decision.
Spilde said that with the
grueling schedule of the
Badger State invite, the
Mid-States and the Cheesehead in the midst of winter
break, the toll it took started
to show in the final matches on Saturday, with only
one place-match win in the
championship bracket.
That was the first time
in years that we didnt win
more place matches than
we lost, Spilde said. We
can just tell that they were
worn down, but that is OK.
We wanted to push them
here at midseason so that
we can ramp things back up
and regroup for January. We
will be ready when February
comes.
Senior Austin Benton
(195) pinned Cody Howard (St. Edwards) in 3:53 to
take 11th place. Sophomore
Tristan Jenny (113) took
10th, while sophomores
Garrett Model (132) and Joe
Nelson (220) both finished
14th.
Nelson probably had
a good of a tournament as
anybody, Spilde said. To
be able to finish in the top
half of the tournament for
Joe was a statement too. But
there were a lot of great performances.
The month of January will
be different for Stoughton
with a focus on dual meets.

Now it is just getting
back to the basics and trying to train day-to-day
each week with a few duals
meets, Spilde said. It is
about tweaking some things
now. We can fix some of the
things that we have seen that
are repetitively not right or
see some of the things we
have done well and expand
on them.
The Badger Conference
meet is at 8 a.m. Saturday,
Feb. 7, at Milton.
Mid-States
Besides being challenged
at the Cheesehead invite,
the Vikings also traveled to
the University of WisconsinWhitewater for the MidStates invite Dec. 29-30.
And Stoughton shined
with four first places, a second place and four third
places en route to a team
title (279 points) ahead of
Elkhorn (221) and Oconomowoc (165 1/2).
I think the biggest thing

there was that we saw some
of the ranked teams we will
see in the postseason, Spilde said. After the first day
of that tournament, things
were still fairly close, and
our guys basically made a
decision to have a great day
two and put some distance
between us and the teams
chasing us. I think that was
a pretty big statement for our
guys.
Klein (106), Hasselberger
(126), Kraus (138) and Benton (195) all took first with
4-0 records. Klein pinned
Michael Lynch (New Trier, Ill.) in 4:46 in his title
match, while Hasselberger
who earned Most Outstanding Wrestler defeated
Bryce Fitzgerald (Elkhorn)
in a 19-8 major decision.
Kraus knocked off Dakota
Danner (Mayville) in a 16-4
major decision, and Benton defeated Richard Kuehl
(Oconomowoc) ranked
No. 6 in Division 1 in a
7-2 decision.
Jenny (113), Louis (120),
Model (132) and Dow (145)
all finished third. Jenny was
5-1 with a pin over Patrick
Ryan (New Trier) by pinfall in 2:29 in the third-place
match.
Louis was 4-1 with a 10-1
major decision over Charlie Black (New Trier) in his
third-place match, while
Model was 5-1 with a pin
over Anthony Bivens (Beloit

Turner) in 2:36 to win his
place match.
Dow was 4-1 with a 9-6
decision over Brandon
Laughlin (Oconomowoc) in
his third-place match.
Helland, who took second,
was 4-1 but fell in the title
match in a 7-5 sudden victory loss to Keegan Foerster
(Fort Atkinson) in overtime.
Spilde said that with so
many close losses, Stoughton had a chance to do even
better.
There were some kids
that just barely got knocked
out of the tournament that
know they are ready to step
forward and be one of those
guys that are getting the job
done, Spilde said.
Senior Patrick Reilly
(160) finished sixth at
the Mid-States with a 2-3
record.
Stoughton 55,
Arrowhead 14
Stoughton hosted Hartland Arrowhead on Tuesday
in a non-conference dual and
rattled off 11 wins en route
to a 55-14 win.
The Vikings showed a
little fatigue from the tough
holiday stretch, but co-head

coach Bob Empey said
many of the guys still looked
good, even with a couple of
close losses.
Junior Jacob Groleau
(182) picked up a 15-7
major decision over Daniel Sorensen, while Nelson
(220) added a pin over Ian
Priest in 1:57.
Gunnar Helland (170)
added a pin over Josh Cinelli
in 1:33, while Benton (192)
pinned Max Crnkovich in
3:45. Reilly (160), Jenny
(113) and Hasselberger
(126) also had pins. Reilly
defeated Elias Audley in
1:55. Hasselberger defeated
Kyle Polczynski in 1:28, and
Jenny defeated Lucas Slaski
in 28 seconds.
Model (132) added a 15-2
major decision over Stavros
Skoufis, and Louis (120) got
a 20-5 technical fall over
Kyle Eberle. Klein (106)
added a forfeit win.
Kraus (138) lost a tough
6-5 match to Aidan Yde
ranked No. 4 at 132 pounds
in one of the tougher
matches of the night.
Kraus fell behind 4-0 after
a few penalty points, and
after storming back, he just
ran out of time.

Stoughton Hospital.
She was born on July 31,
1925, in Manitoba, Canada,
the daughter of Frank Moxley and Mary McFadden.
Joan was born on the
prairie of western Canada,
and grew up in Le Pas,
Manitoba. She completed a
bachelors degree in commerce from University of
Winnipeg and worked for
the Canadian National Railroad in Montreal, Quebec.
There, she met the love
of her life, Paul Krause, a
native New Yorker. They
married on June 1, 1959, in
Laramie, Wyo., en route to
relocating to San Francisco.
After adopting twins,
Joan and Paul moved across
the country and relocated
their young family in Middleton, Mass. There, Joan
was a loving mother and
also worked as an auditor
for a government agency.
Joan was a quiet woman, an
avid reader and loved the
outdoors.
Joan is survived by her
husband, Paul Krause of
Stoughton; and her two
children, Barbara (Tom)
Roe of Stoughton and Peter
Krause of Pinehurst, N.C.;
and her sister, Barbara
(John) Morris of Nanaimo,

Lamers: Time as fire chief saw station constructed; increase in volunteer force
worked at former fire chief
Oscar Fortons Mobile service station.
Forton was something of
a mentor and was a key reason that Lamers began volunteering as a firefighter in
1972.
I probably wouldnt
have gotten involved if he
wouldnt have encouraged
me, Lamers reflected. I
got to know the department
and a lot of the members.
That same year, Lamers married his wife, Jean.
They eventually had a son,
Robert, and a daughter,
Rachael, who both still live
here in their hometown.
Robert is also volunteer
firefighter of at least 15
years and a captain on the
department.
Jean Lamers told the
Hub that she and Marty
would never have done
this as long as we have
without the dedicated volunteers who make up the

fire department.
Theyll fight a fire all
night and then go to a job
all day long, and then go
back and clean up the station, she said. I think
back sometimes, and unless
you have lived through it,
you dont know.
Her thoughts on the fire
service are highly relevant
because being a firefighter
involves an entire family.
Marty Lamers said being a
volunteer firefighter is not
easy, and its a commitment by not only the volunteer but also the family.
There are many times
when I had to leave family outings and holidays
because the alarm bell rings
and you have to leave, he
explained. So it is a family thing, and the family has
to realize that, or it doesnt
work. They have to understand and accept.
It became part of my life, and I enjoyed it.

Its a great way to serve and give back to the
community.
Marty Lamers
Stoughton Fire Chief
Building the
department
In his nine-plus years as
the departments paid chief,
Lamers has accomplished a
great deal. He helped plan
and oversee the construction of a new $6 million
fire station, increased the
number of volunteers to
its present count of 42 and
promoted and designed the
annual holiday light display
in Stoughton Rotary Park,
next to the station.
When Lamers became
volunteer fire chief in January 2003, he sat down
with then-Mayor Helen
Johnson to discuss goals

for the departments future.
Among them was to look
into building a new station.
Helen was very supportive of the idea, Lamers
recalled.
They started the process
with a space needs study
done by an outside consultant and worked with city
staff to determine that the
city truly needed a new
facility. Consultants also
recommended that the Fire
Department have a full-time
paid chief, a paid deputy
chief, and that it increase
its number of volunteers by
about 10, from the low 30s

Stoughton Fire Department chief Martin Lamers plans to retire this

year, with a tentative date set for Feb. 1.
to the low 40s.

Lamers said during his
tenure as chief, the department has been fully staffed
with volunteers.
Weve been able to get
good quality people who
are willing to volunteer and
be involved, he said.
Lamers attributes that
success to strong community support, good firefighting equipment and the new
fire station itself.
People took a lot of
pride in their fire station,
he observed. It really helps
when youve got great
facilities, good equipment
and the support of the city
to keep the volunteers here.
Because the city is supportive of the volunteers, they
A walk in the woods led me to ...
appreciate that and theyre

willing to do it. That goes a
long way to keep your volunteer base the way it is.
But as with any volunteer
firefighting organization,
the Stoughton Fire Department struggled in the past
to maintain its volunteers.
Declining numbers caused
the city to revise it rules for
volunteers so that they no
longer have to both reside
and work in Stoughton.
Lamers thinks thats
because most residents no
longer work here, and when
he joined the department,
many of the volunteers
were business owners in
town. He said thats not the
case anymore.
It would be tragic for
the city to lose that volunteer structure, Lamers
said. We keep working to
keep it in place because its
a real economic and costeffective way to get fire
protection, and it works.

Lamers noted that some

people are busier in retirement than they had been
pre-retirement. He suspects
he may end up being one of
them, although he doesnt
have definitive plans for
what hell do after Feb. 1.
He may do more fishing,
and he expects to spend
more time with family,
especially his grandchildren.
One thing hes sure will
keep him busy during the
holiday season is the light
display at Rotary Park,
which has nearly 100,000
LED bulbs, Lamers said.
Ive spearheaded that,
did the fundraising and
designed it, he added. Its
put up by volunteers under
my direction.
A master electrician,
Lamers thinks he may take
a part-time job in his former
occupation.
I like to build things
and fix things, so Ill stay
busy, he said.
And it will be hard to get
the firefighting instinct out
of his system. Its been a
rewarding career, he said.
Its been a good thing
for me to be involved as a
volunteer firefighter, Lamers said. It became part
of my life, and I enjoyed
it. Its a great way to serve
and give back to the community.
I cant say enough about
how supportive the citys
been of the fire department.
